Boba Fret @bobafret.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Genuinely surprised at the reaction here to the emergency alert. Nationwide wildfires and dozens of houses destroyed seems like a not unreasonable use to me.

Boba Fret @bobafret.bsky.social · 27/03/2026When AC/DC wrote about how in the beginning, back in 1955, there was no understanding of rock, they were writing about a situation only 22 years earlier, and already several albums in.

Boba Fret @bobafret.bsky.social · 05/01/2025The interesting thing about this is that Reform *is* Farage and everyone in the UK knows this.
